  1. brave-browser

    Brave browser for Android, iOS, Linux, macOS, Windows.

    Separate reply that ritual impurity or blind black-box rejection of open source Chromium/Blink seems also to suffer from emotionalism over reason. See

    https://github.com/brave/brave-browser/wiki/Deviations-from-...

    This is a choice we made. As I wrote in my last reply, I think we would have died trying to get Gecko/Graphene with a Web front end up to competitive scratch vs. Chrome (nm Firefox).

    A Firefox fork would have gone over badly with some potentially large number of Mozilla/Firefox fans, and we'd still lack key elements not part of the Mozilla open source (at the time, e.g., Adobe's CDM for HTML5 DRM). On the upside we'd have more UX customizability.

    But our choice of Chromium/Blink (via Electron, so we had Web front end upside without Firefox extensions) was not a slam dunk choice. It involved trade-offs, as all engineering does. The downside is we have to audit and network-test for leaks and blunders, which often come from Chromium upstream:

  3. uBOL-home

    uBO Lite home (MV3)

  4. ungoogled-chromium

    Google Chromium, sans integration with Google

    What's the best next choice if I don't want to move away from a Chrome-like experience?

    (Old habits die hard)

    There's https://github.com/ungoogled-software/ungoogled-chromium - is it a sound choice nowadays?

  5. hosts

    🔒 Consolidating and extending hosts files from several well-curated sources. Optionally pick extensions for porn, social media, and other categories.

    uBlock Origin still works in Firefox. https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/addon/ublock-origin...

    And you can, I believe, still just modify your hosts table to block out ads in Chrome. https://github.com/StevenBlack/hosts

    Or your router's DNS using something like NextDNS. https://nextdns.io/

    Ads suck. Support content where you can, but even when you pay they still serve ads / tracking scripts. So fuck 'em. Block all the ads.

  6. nextdns

    NextDNS CLI client (DoH Proxy)

    uBlock Origin still works in Firefox. https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/addon/ublock-origin...

    And you can, I believe, still just modify your hosts table to block out ads in Chrome. https://github.com/StevenBlack/hosts

    Or your router's DNS using something like NextDNS. https://nextdns.io/

    Ads suck. Support content where you can, but even when you pay they still serve ads / tracking scripts. So fuck 'em. Block all the ads.

  7. uBlock

    uBlock Origin - An efficient blocker for Chromium and Firefox. Fast and lean.

    uBlock Origin always worked best in Firefox anyhow:

    https://github.com/gorhill/uBlock/wiki/uBlock-Origin-works-b...

  8. Pi-hole

    A black hole for Internet advertisements

    Time to set up Pi-Hole on my Rapsberry Pi 4

  10. uAssets

    Resources for uBlock Origin, uMatrix: static filter lists, ready-to-use rulesets, etc.

    It's working fine on Youtube in Optimal mode. If you have still issue, you will have to go through self-diagnosing steps[1] to rule out all the myriad other ways you suffer such issues -- most commonly another extension is interfering negatively.

  11. TwitchAdSolutions

  12. chromium-web-store

    Allows adding extensions from chrome web store on ungoogled-chromium. Also adds semi-automatic extension updating.

    https://github.com/NeverDecaf/chromium-web-store and possibly using a .config/chromium-flags.conf like this:

    --extension-mime-request-handling=always-prompt-for-install

  13. mitmproxy

    An interactive TLS-capable intercepting HTTP proxy for penetration testers and software developers.

  14. PWAsForFirefox

    A tool to install, manage and use Progressive Web Apps (PWAs) in Mozilla Firefox
